Why You Shouldn’t Miss This

A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle in the world, covering almost 70,000 square metres in area. Constructed in the 9th century, the castle served as the seat of power for Kings of Bohemia and Rome, and the presidents of Czechoslovakia in the past, and the Czech Republic presently.

You will see examples of almost every architectural style of the last millennium. From Roman-style buildings constructed in the 10th century to Gothic modifications from the 14th century, the evolution of these designs from the 9th century all the way up to the 19th century, at a single location is virtually impossible to witness elsewhere. The legendary Bohemian Crown Jewels have been stored in the St. Vitus Cathedral in the Prague Castle. It is hidden in a chamber that is not accessible to the public. Weighing close to 2.5 kilograms, and with nearly 120 jewels, they are displayed rarely in the open.

If you are a history buff, the Prague Castle is a must-see. Adolf Hitler is famously known to have spent a night in the castle when the Czech president was forced to hand over the nation to the Nazis.

Your Experience

Once your booking has been confirmed, you will receive a mobile voucher. You will have to meet a representative holding an open blue and white umbrella, standing near the St. Vitus Cathedral to exchange your voucher for a physical ticket.

Circuit B allows access and entry into the most iconic structures and buildings around the castle. You will visit the St. Vitus Cathedral, St. George’s Basilica, Old Royal Palace and the Golden Lane with the Daliborka Tower. The confluence of various structural styles makes the Prague Castle a treat to the eyes and this experience that much more special. .

By skipping the queues, you can channel your energy and time into exploring the wonderful historic sites. Since your ticket is valid for 2 days, enjoy a serene and laid-back tour of the complex. A notable example of Gothic architecture in the complex, the St. Vitus Cathedral is the most important church in the Czech Republic. Inside it, lie the tombs of several Bohemian Kings and Roman Emperors. The central tower stands at a massive 103 metres. In addition, it houses the Bohemian Crown Jewels, which are kept in a hidden room that has seven locks. The seven keys are held by prominent members of the Czech government and the Archbishop of Prague, who must gather together to open the impenetrable door.

You will also be able to marvel at St. George’s Basilica. In an eye-catching shade of red, the church houses the famous Bohemian Art Collection. Currently, it also serves as a concert hall. And no visit here is complete without seeing the Golden Lane. Named after the goldsmiths that lived on this lane in the 1600s, it is a street that was built to house the guards of Rudolf II. Presently, most of the houses have been converted to souvenir shops, and a medieval armoury museum is accessible from here. The allure of these ancient dwellings makes it a truly memorable experience.
